Wednesday, 13 May 2026, 06:35 · 1 min read

Tens of thousands of workers took to the streets of central Brussels on Tuesday in a nationwide strike organised by Belgian trade unions against the government's planned fiscal reforms. Demonstrators carried banners denouncing pension changes, rising fuel prices, and austerity measures, with some signs directed at Prime Minister Bart De Wever. The action caused widespread disruption to public transport and air travel across Belgium, as unions sought to intensify pressure on the government over its economic agenda.
